Hillary Clinton’s surprise shady Grammys cameo

HILLARY Clinton popped up in a celeb-filled skit poking fun at President Donald Trump at today’s Grammy Awards - but not everyone was impressed.

HILLARY Clinton made an unexpected cameo at today’s Grammy Awards, appearing in a celeb-filled skit poking fun at the man who beat her to the US Presidency.

Grammys host James Corden introduced the skit by pointing out that many high-profile political figures have won the Best Spoken Word Album award over the years:

“Bill Clinton has won a Grammy, Barack Obama has won a Grammy, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, they all have Grammys. We know that our current president does love winning awards. And the good news for him is he may just be the subject of next year’s winner. The question I’ve got is — who will be the narrator?” he asked.

He was referring to Fire and Fury, the newly-released unauthorised tell-all book about life inside the Trump administration that the president himself has loudly and angrily denounced.

Cut to ‘auditions’ to find the person who would read the Fire and Fury audiobook — among them, vocally anti-Trump pop icon Cher, gleefully reading a passage about his “orange comb over,” and rapper Cardi B, reading that Trump usually likes to be in bed with a cheeseburger by 6:30pm.

“Why am I even reading this s**t? I can’t believe this. I can’t believe that he really — that’s how he lives his life,” she cackled.

The Grammys saved the biggest surprise til last — there was Clinton herself, reading aloud:

“He had a long-time fear of being poisoned. One reason why he liked to eat at

McDonald’s: Nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade,” she read.

“That’s it! We’ve got it. That’s the one,” said Corden.

“If you think so? The Grammy is in the bag!” said Clinton.

Viewers loved the tongue-in-cheek cameo:

Ok Cardi B's audition and DJ Khaled "DJ Khaleding" Fire and Fury is all I needed tonight. And Hillary for the big finish. Ha! #Grammys

However, Republican politician and current US Ambassadror to the United Nations Nikki Haley was less impressed:

I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it.

— Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) January 29, 2018

I disagree. That part ruined the Grammys. Such a shame.

Nor was Trump’s son:

Ok Cardi B's audition and DJ Khaled "DJ Khaleding" Fire and Fury is all I needed tonight. And Hillary for the big finish. Ha! #Grammys
